Episode Details

Spanish is a diverse language, so it’s no surprise that Guatemala would have its own unique vocabulary and phrases. Located just south of Mexico, we expected to hear a lot of similarities with Mexican Spanish, but I wasn’t expecting to learn about a whole different way of addressing people. Vos tenés? Find out about some of the most popular Guatemalan Spanish words and phrases, or chapinismos, in this episode with our friend and Guatemalan hostess, Krista Perez.
